This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. But Skippy always stood by me and was a great friend. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps and garden with me. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees and berry bushes, chickens and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

harvest

This is my harvest from two days ago. Baby bok coy and spinach. (Both a bit bolted.) We're grilling the bok choy tonight.

I have not had bok choy before this. A really nice flavor. I was sampling it in comparison with savoy cabbage the other day. The bok choy is much milder, a little lemony and cucumber taste in the flavor. I'm enjoying it.
